Ling Xiaoyue did not understand Shi Qing's words. Why did the relationship between the two brothers improve because of her?
"Time to eat!" Anna, wearing a long linen dress and an apron around her waist, hopped over.
Lei Jue stood up, looking at her in such a manner, "Seriously, how can a child act like this in front of another."
Anna did not get angry, but deliberately pouted and said to her, "That's why the children love me and you have to smile more." Then she picked up the rune from Lei Jue's lap. This little bun, she wouldn't be able to leave her for even a second.
"Honey, can we have some cakes later?"
When she read it, she shouted excitedly and hugged Anna's face to kiss.
Ling Xiao Yue had previously thought of the Lei family as the lair of a wolf, tiger, and leopard. However, after seeing the Lei family today, she realized that they were much more amiable than her own family.
Seeing that she was in Anna's embrace, Ling Xiao Yue pulled out a chair and sat to one side. However, before she could sit down, Shi Qing, who was beside her, patted her arm.
"Sit over here!" Shi Qing made a space beside the Thunder Cloud Swamp for Ling Xiaoyue to sit in the middle.
Ling Xiao Yue wasn't too concerned about her seat, so she followed her instructions and sat down. During the meal, only Anna and Nian Bing were happy. As she ate, the others fell silent.
"I've finished eating. "I'll head back first." It hadn't even been ten minutes since the meal started, and Lei Yunze had already stood up and was preparing to leave without even serving the main course.
Anna started chanting in Anna's arms, looking at Lei Yunze with a puzzled expression. She hadn't eaten the big cake on the table, and now that she was leaving, she couldn't bear to continue reciting it.
"Dad, you haven't eaten your fill yet." He looked at the big cake and said pitifully to Lei Yunze.
Ling Xiao Yue did not understand why Lei Yunze had suddenly suggested to leave. She walked to Lei Yunze's side and whispered, "Is there something urgent?"
Lei Yunze did not reply. He glanced at Ling Xiao Yue and fell silent for a moment before speaking, "I will have Ye Jia come to pick you all up. After he is done, he strode out without a care in the world.
"Yunze, do you really have to do this?" Lei Yunhan, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth.
The moment she heard Lei Yunhan speak, Shi Qing hurriedly pulled on his sleeve, signalling him not to say anything more.
"You haven't put it down even after so many years?" Lei Yunhan put down her tableware and stood up. Seeing the two brothers engaged in a showdown, Ling Xiao Yue did not dare to say a word.
"What are you talking about?" This was the first thing the two brothers said today, but every word was filled with hostility.
"Must you say it here? In front of your wife? " Lei Yunhan held her hands in her pockets as she stood across from Lei Yunze. Lei Yunze looked at Ling Xiaoyue and retracted his gaze.
"I'm on business, don't you think?"
"Is that so? I'm talking about business, what do you think? " Lei Yunhan kept pressing on and Lei Yunze didn't say anything else. He pushed open the door and walked out.
Shi Qing ran over to her husband, raised her hand and beat his arm in a reproachful manner, then softly rebuked him: "What's wrong with you? Xiao Yue and Nian Bing are here! "
"I'm letting him see the light." He put his hand on his wife's shoulder and returned to his seat.
His eyebrows were also knitted tightly as he looked in the direction Lei Yunze had left in. At the feast, Lei Yunze had left the two of them there.
"You don't have to be a stranger. We're all family. Yunze is a workaholic, you know for sure." Shi Qing saw the disappointment in Ling Xiaoyue's expression and sat beside her to comfort her.
At this moment, Ling Xiao Yue received a message from Ye Jia, informing her that she would be able to arrive at the Thunder House in half an hour.
Ling Xiao Yue also realized that she could not stay for long. After calculating the time, she left with her thoughts.
Ye Jia was waiting at the door. When she saw that Ling Xiao Yue had arrived, she took the initiative to get out of the car and open the door for her.
Before the car had even started, Ling Xiao Yue asked, "Ye Jia, is there anyone else in Yunze's heart?"
The moment Ling Xiao Yue said those words, the exquisite Ye Jia did not know what to do. Before he could say anything, Ling Xiao Yue sighed.
"Never mind, it's not convenient to say it when I'm reciting it here."
"No …"
"Stop talking, the child is here." Ling Xiao Yue did not ask anymore questions, and Ye Jia was also unable to say anything. These words blocked Ye Jia's throat and eyes, making him feel uncomfortable.
The car drove on. Seeing that Ye Jia was about to drive to the villa, Ling Xiao Yue immediately stopped her.
"I'm not going anymore. Nian Bing, come home with me. Take us home!"
"Director Lei …"
"Listen to me. He shouldn't be in the mood to care about us." Ling Xiaoyue looked at the recitation with eyes filled with worry.
Ye Jia wanted to explain a little bit for Lei Yunze, but in the end, there was no way for her to say it out loud. She could only follow Ling Xiao Yue's instructions and send them home first.
"Director Lei, something happened." Lei Yunze instantly became vigilant.
"Just now, Director Ling asked me, is there anyone else in your heart …" I wanted to help you explain, but Director Ling looked very upset, and said that the children didn't want me to say anything more. Now that I've sent them back to my apartment, you should take a look when you're free! "
Lei Yunze hung up the phone. He was feeling extremely anxious. He did not know what had happened during his absence, but since Ling Xiao Yue had asked such a question, it seemed like Anna and the others had told her something.
Just as Ling Xiao Yue returned home to change and take off her makeup, Lei Yunze rang the doorbell. From the peephole, she was surprised to see Lei Yunze standing at the door.
"Aren't you in a hurry?" When Nian Bing saw that Lei Yunze had arrived, he also ran out and jumped into Lei Yunze's embrace.
"Why did dad suddenly leave? I don't even have a good cake for recitation." Nian Bing snorted with his nose. He seemed to be fuming.
"I have something to talk to you about." Lei Yunze pulled at Ling Xiaoyue, feeling a little anxious.
"It's fine. There's no need to say it, I don't need to know it either. Your matter and mine are two different people's matters." Ling Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with sorrow. She hugged her chanting body from Lei Yunze's embrace and patted her back gently as she whispered into her ear, "Recite well and take a nap. When you wake up, Mommy will take you to eat cake."
Ling Xiao Yue no longer paid any attention to Lei Yunze. She carried Nian Bing into the room. Lei Yunze stood at the door. He could neither stay nor leave.
Ling Xiao Yue seemed to be avoiding him. She actually stayed in the room for nearly an hour. Lei Yunze was sitting on the sofa and was feeling extremely anxious.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Ling Xiao Yue came out of her room. When she saw Lei Yunze, she whispered to him before walking to the side to do housework. She treated Lei Yunze like she was treating the air.
"Listen to me." Lei Yunze grabbed Ling Xiaoyue's wrist and pulled her in front of him.
"No need to listen, you don't need to either. I don't need to know either. Lei Yunze, have you ever thought about us, the two of us, since you left them there today? The matter between you and your brother and sister-in-law has nothing to do with us! "
"It does matter. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be where we are today." Lei Yunze released Ling Xiaoyue's wrist and let out a long sigh. He was determined to tell her the truth.
